Da art of Storytellin: The 2015-16 Official Thread of Your Atlanta Hawks #SET

[#1 pick]

Yea the box idea was cool...we pitched it right around the time the Hawks were at their highest during last season and the prices were . I'm definitely down for us to catch a game but I like your idea of us finding a bar and hitting that up. I know everyone on here is coming from all over the city so maybe so,etching downtown or even at Philips (like Taco Mac at Philips) might be a good destination. Maybe that Dantannas right there, STATS? I'm open to whatever works for y'all

For me, I am in DC but maybe just maybe.

Since I'm gonna be back at GSU I'm finna be posted at every game

Solid player, more of an impact guy than a numbers guy. He should be extremely useful off of the bench as a 6th man. Should really help the 2nd unit. His energy, IQ and passing is a beauty.

Our second unit is gonna be really good

PG: Das Schroëder
SG: BAZE/Holiday
SF: Hardaway Jr/BAZE
PF: Muscala/Scott
C: Splitter

I'm really interested to see what we get outta Justin Holiday b/c he's gonna get some real chances to contribute at the 2 or 3. Not sure if BAZE starts or no (I would say coming into camp he's NOT the projected starter and that Thabo will be the starter there) but I think BAZE will have the chance to play his way into or outta the lineup

I agree. SG/SF is interchangeable in our system but we deep as hell. Scott getting more mins than Moose tho. We gonna see Edy in the D-league this year too, maybe he can help by ASB

Yea I'm not expecting much from Edy...I agree I hope by ASB he could come in and give us 10-15 mins of quality minutes off the bench. He's still learning the game and this is his first NBA training camp/season. He's got a lot to learn before we can reasonably expect him to contribute

As for Scott, you think so? I'm hopeful that he does get more minutes b/c I think he's potentially more versatile than Moose, but I just keep going back to down the stretch & the playoffs and how Moose was gettin minutes and you could see his confidence grow and how Scott fell outta the lineup at the same time. I think Moose is ahead of him coming into camp, but we'll see. Scott has had a WOAT summer so I'm not sure what mental state he's in

Yeah, Scott has been a good regular season player for us off the bench. The playoffs is another story but in the RS, he has been great for us. I still need to see more from Moose. Sometimes I feel he shows us some potential and then at other times, looks like a Euroleague at best player. I am still not convinced he's even as good as Ayon.

I do worry about the off-season and the drug charges for Scott. He's likely gonna get probation for it but there is a chance it can get worse. It's funny, considering our squad and their IQ, we might be the most troubled team in the NBA.

Moose >> Scott at end of last year. Not sure if it was injury or what. I wish we had let Moose play more earlier in the year. We need to develop that 2nd team scoring big. No more 3pt shots from Pero will be strange. We will miss the slow pump fake 3, foul, and 3 FTs though. That worked about 2-3 times a week it seems.

Glad Macedonian ZaZa is no longer employed by the AHBC

His whole game and fake tough guy steez just annoyed the shyt outta me and he actually regressed last season. And before he got an offer from the Euroleague team he's playing for now, I'm stunned that Bud wanted to bring him back

No, not at all. Scott was a much better player through out the year. If we are going by just the playoffs, we would have traded Horf after the Chicago series.

I liked Antic but his time was up man. He needed to be consistent at the 3, that's like one of his only skills on offense. He was doing it as well as Josh, for that alone, he had to leave the NBA.

EDIT: Also home games starting at 8 was a GENIUS move. With traffic it'll make it that much easier to get down there and see the game

Speaking of dive bars, @Rickdogg44 @steezy we gotta hit up Hudson Grille by Philips again and get that $9 pitcher of mystery beer like we got last time did we ever figure out what that shyt was?

Idk it seemed like Scott regressed after the injury. I was really impress with how active Moose was in the playoffs.

 

[Professor K.]

Scott is playing this season? I thought that nikka was done for

He's still going to court for the possession charges...I think more than likely he gets probation, pays a fine and does maybe some community service. I doubt he misses time
